5.00My parents and I enjoyed this tour a lot and felt that the guide was very knowledgable in the history of Kusadasi and its ancient world. There was plenty of time to explore on our own as well as having a good amount of time having the ruins explained to us. We had parts of the ancient city and House of Virgin Mary specifically pointed out to us by the guide that we would've missed otherwise! Great opportunity to see these locations for cruisers!!
Great trip

5.00We were impressed with this trip, Ephesus was amazing especially because our guide Ozz was very knowledgeable and friendly! The included Lunch was all made from local ingredients and really enjoyable. It was also fascinating to see how they gather the silk from the cocoons to use in the carpet weaving!
Best way to see Ephesus!
